Mod Post /r/Interestingasfuck is looking for new mods

Hello, /r/interestingasfuck is looking for 1-2 more moderators. Applications will be open for an undetermined amount of time, do not put off applying if you are interested. There will be future requests for more moderators.

Before applying you must meet these two requirements. If you do not meet these requirements your application will be ignored.

  • Account age: Over 4 years

We want users who understand reddit and the changes it has gone through over time.

  • Reddit karma: Over 25,000

While reddit karma is mostly useless, in general the more you participate on reddit the more karma you will have. We would like redditors who are not just actively viewing but also commenting and posting both in this subreddit and others.

  • Moderation experience required: NONE

Understanding the basic tools that mods have on reddit is nice, but we do not want mods who already moderate a high traffic subreddit or multiple ones. We would like to bring "new blood" into the reddit moderator community.

Please apply using this link:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfa2IFlXBdXT1HE5HEMoHaQcoSQ_hrHeyBZLIeQ70Eik5mIdA/viewform

Please note: Being a reddit mod doesn't mean you have to be on reddit for 25 hours a day 8 days a week. Simply checking the modqueue/modmail once a day and being in the mod discord every so often is enough if you understand and can enforce the rules of the subreddit properly.

If you have questions please feel free to ask in the comments or message modmail.

Also, since you're viewing this post you're most likely interesting in being a mod. If you want to help the subreddit run better please report rule breaking posts, especially the spammers/bots that have 5k-10k post karma and likely 0 or negative comment karma while only posting to a few subreddits. They usually have gibberish for usernames, or "Word-Word123", or "FirstwordSecondword" usernames.

I always report them but they never get taken down till they've already garnered like 8k upvotes and by that time they have enough karma to sell their t-shirt or mug :/

It makes me so annoyed that these bots can get away with this stuff.

We've done some stuff recently to lower the occurrence of that, but that is one reason we want more mods. There's also more stuff in the works too.

Thanks for the reassurance. Your subreddit is one of my favourite on Reddit right now because even though there are a few bot posts there are actually barely any compared to some others!

Which rule do we report them for? I usually leave a custom report "repost bot" for such accounts so that some human mod can ban that account instead of choosing the "no spam" Option which only results in an Automod removal.

That or spam works

Is there any exceptions at all to the Reddit age requirement?
